how about some Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, De La Soul, Rakim, Ultramagnetic MC's, EPMD, BDK, Slick Rick, Kool G Rap, The D.O.C., Run DMC, Jungle Brothers, Ice-T, Afrika Bambaataa, Marley Marl, Biz Markie, LL Cool J, 3rd Bass, Mantronix, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, Stetsasonic, Whodini, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, Gang Starr, MC Lyte, Newcleus, and a shit load of other pioneers. why aren't you using them as you're model for what you can and can't say? oh because you found one 80's rapper and decided that was the only one you needed.

That's a very grim world-view. That's a view that depicts social life as a zero-sum game. That in every interaction for someone to win someone else has to lose. That you either take advantage of someone else or they take advantage of you. Like Wesley Snipes says in White Men Can't Jump - "You either smoke, or you get smoked!" I don't believe in that. I believe in mutually beneficial relationships. They get something out of you and you get something out of them, likewise. Like in the workplace. They will respect me because I'm providing a service for them, and in return I will respect them because they are providing me with money.Or an even simpler analogy. You have a watch you don't care for much anymore because your wife bought you a better watch. I don't have any watch at all, but I have $20 dollars to spare. I would rather have the watch than the $20 and you would rather have the $20 dollars than the watch. So we interact and do business with each other, and each side benefits from the exchange.

You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours is an equal exchange. And that's not what I'm talking about.What I'm saying is that fact that people are not equal and will never be equal that exchange is possible.
infinite, u my boy, but ima be honest with ya, i think u were a little oversensitive on this one, brodie.. thing is, ur letting these dumbass bitches get in ur way and giving them the power to fuck with ur mind a little too much. i say don't ever let a stupid hoe bother u in the slightest. let them be stupid and rise above..u gotta approach these situations with a "fuck a bitch" mentality and just do you. don't worry about what others are doin/sayin, let the bitches be bitches, and handle ur own shit....meaning, act as if they don't even exist and carry on with what u gotta do without payin them no mind. if they come at u wrong and say some dumbass shit, just laugh it off and be like "damn, ur even dumber than i thought" or something (in a jokingly/sarcastic way, of course)....imo, ur just overanalyzing shit. i aint like these nerds tryna talk shit for cheap laughs, i know u aint a bitch, and i know u like to get deep...but in certain situations, it's best to not give a fuck and do your own thing without letting others get in the way.
Your letter should just be honest and read"Dear Boss, My job has alerted the proper channels and thus child-support will be taken outta my check, as such I've decided to leave and restart the process over again, because I couldn't give a shit about my kid" - signed Hoverhands in tha motherland.

I'm not the type of nicca that ever counts on just one thing, one person, one job, or one anything.... So I got other shit going on besides just this job. So maybe I will go back on a limited basis or maybe not. But I have myself covered for shit like this. And when I saw it was mostly all white people I'd be working with on a daily basis, I knew something like this might go down. So I'm not caught off-guard by it. Black people know how to have a good time at work, and allow you more freedom at work. While white people are more fake and there's hidden wars and battles always building beneath the surface. Still sucks to go through this, but it's just temporary.Hold on a second. Putting my trolling and this letter aside for a quick moment. Did I actually just see you say "nicca"?Yep. Sure did. KRS-1 said it's okay for whites in hip-hop to say it. And KRS is the Teacher. Nough said.
